Abstract
A convenient route for the synthesis of a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, mereletinib (AZD9291) using starting materials that are commercially available has been achieved through reactions that are readily conducted under mild conditions. Importantly, a 5 g scale synthesis was also accomplished and this method could therefore be useful in the synthesis of similar drugs.
